I have looked at several other questions but I can't seem to figure any of them out, so here is my problem: I would like to have a div or a span, when you hover over it an area would appear and would be like a drop down.
Such as I have an div, and I want to hover over it and have it show some info about the item I hovered over
<html>
<head>
<title>Question1</title>
<styles type="css/text">
#cheetah {
background-color: red;
color: yellow;
text-align: center;
}
a {
color: blue;
}
#hidden {
background-color: black;
}
a:hover > #hidden {
background-color: orange;
color: orange;
}
</styles>
</head>
<body>
<div id="cheetah">
<p><a href="#">Cheetah</a></p>
</div>
<div id="hidden">
<p>A cheetah is a land mammal that can run up 2 60mph!!!</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>But this ^ doesn't seem to work, I don't know why... and if there is a way to do that in CSS, I would like to know, but I want any and all suggestions.
You can achieve this in CSS only if the hidden div is a child of the element you use for hovering:
